gulp-less-sourcemap

A LESS plugin for Gulp with sourcemap file support. Based on gulp-less.

Install

npm install gulp-less-sourcemap

Usage

####Simple example

var gulp = require('gulp');
var less = require('gulp-less-sourcemap');
var path = require('path');

gulp.task('less', function () {
  gulp.src('./less/*.less')
    .pipe(less({
        sourceMap: {
            sourceMapRootpath: '../less' // Optional absolute or relative path to your LESS files
        }
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/css'));
});

####Advanced example:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var changed = require('gulp-changed');
var less = require('gulp-less-sourcemap');
var path = require('path');
var fs = require('fs');
var gutil = require('gulp-util');
var notifier = new (require('node-notifier'));

// Gulpfile is placed in project/util
// LESS files are placed in project/app/static/css
var lessSourceFilesBasePath = path.join('..', 'app', 'static', 'css')
var lessSourceFiles = path.join(fs.realpathSync(lessSourceFilesBasePath), '*.less')

gulp.task('less', function () {
    var cssDestination = path.dirname(lessSourceFiles)

    return gulp
        .src(lessSourceFiles)
            .pipe(changed(cssDestination, {extension: '.css'}))
            .pipe(
                less({
                    /*
                    sourceMap: {
                        sourceMapURL: sourceMapFileName,
                        sourceMapBasepath: lessFile.base,
                        sourceMapRootpath: '../less', // Optional absolute or relative path to your LESS files
                        sourceMapFileInline: false
                    }
                    */
                })
            )
            .on('error', function (error) {
                gutil.log(gutil.colors.red(error.message))
                // Notify on error. Uses node-notifier
                notifier.notify({
                    title: 'Less compilation error',
                    message: error.message
                })
            })
            .pipe(gulp.dest(cssDestination));
});

gulp.task('less-watch', function () {
	gulp.watch(lessSourceFiles, ['less'])
});

gulp.task('default', ['less', 'less-watch']);

Options

The options are the same as what's supported by the less parser. By default sourcemaps generation is on. Sourcemaps files be written into destination directory. To generates inline sourcemaps specify {sourceMap: {sourceMapFileInline: true}}.

Error handling

By default, a gulp task will fail and all streams will halt when an error happens. To change this behavior check out the error handling documentation here
